2014 Giro d'Italia, Stage 13: Fossano → Rivarolo Canavese (157 km)

[Guybrush]

anti-climatic stage

 

[ILovecycling]

Obvious win for the break

why?

I wish of course.

 

[wirral]

Have Fedi and Bandiera got their **** in gear yet? Today they have a job to do.

How much do you think the slight rise at the end will count against Bouhanni? Will Nizzolo and Swift benefit enough?

It will have zero impact.
Bunch sprint involving everybody unless we have a crash.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

I just hope not another gc rider crashes

Tyler to get 10th place or crash (and take few with him) trying

Agreed, with a small amendment:

I just hope everyone stays upright.

Maybe the break will be brought back before the intermediate sprint. 70 points in total up for grabs for the points jersey today (20 + 50)

Or maybe FDJ are keeping such a short leash on this break because there are storms forecast for the finish circuit and they don't want an all out chase in those conditions

Seems that Gusev spoiled your hopes. He is Ok, up and riding.

It will definitely be a full bunch sprint but wondered if the slight rise at the end might affect Bouhanni more and let somebody else win the stage, like Nizzolo or Swift?

These rain jackets are a hazard, a Garmin rider was very lucky, one jammed in his rear wheel, he luckily stayed upright.

 

[therhodeo]

Any nominations for the most boring stage of the Giro so far?

Thomas Dekker. Once winner of Tirreno Adriatico and Tour de Romandie. Now bringer of water bottles and jackets for his more talented teammates. Oh how the mighty can fall

We know how he became mighty, that's the difference...

It wasn't all dope. He was a world class u23/junior without dope. It's logical you throw away a reasonable comeback if you do 1,5 years of nothing.

He might have been at least a usefull domestique clean if he did train during that time. Like in his year at Silence Lotto.

Yes everyone was on bread and water on RB3

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Laugh as you will, but there was no team doping there. why do you think Kohl sucked there?
there are even multiple (ex)dopers who said there was never doping at RB3

again, you are bad at facts.

 

[Afrank]

Head to the clinic guys, remember, no doping talk here.
